"While our ultimate goal is to cure diabetes, leading up to that is technological improvements and the artificial pancreas being one of the top that we're looking forward to," said JDRF Walk chairperson Wendy Moody.

Registration begins at 11 a.m., and the walk starts at noon.

WLKY is a proud sponsor of the event.
